Old School Deegan Wallpaper

Check out a young Brian Deegan from the ’92 Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Championships over at RacerX.

Chad Reed To Race Four-Stroke

TransWorld Motocross is reporting that Chad Reed has confirmed that he will be riding the YZ450F four-stroke in the upcoming 2006 Supercross season. Between Ricky, Bubba and Chad, Chad is the first to confirm his bike choice for '06. I can't wait for Supercross! And this year, with six races scheduled to be on CBS Sports along with a season preview show that will air on Christmas day, we might actually get see it on TV! Steppin' Up!

Old Photo Memories

About a year ago Sgt. Rambutt broke into the MM compound. He escaped capture and even had enough time to air it out on Deegan's dirt sickle. This is the only photo we got of him. If you see Sgt. Rambutt in public proceed with extreme caution, his one-leggers can be deadly.

Trigger's Baja Trail Ride

Known for doing wheelies down crowded San Clemente beaches in a clown suit, Trigger is seen here busting berm shots down a deserted beach in Baja.

Chillin' at a 300 year old mission in the middle of Baja

Trigger Gumm, myself and Cameron Steele took a four day trip down to Baja last week. We did about 850 miles of riding from Estero Beach down to Loreto. Thanks to Trail Boss Tours for the great time and Danny for hooking it up. Here’s a couple photos…

Trigg's always gettin' caught with his pants down! Weird.

Twitch Second Overall At The Dew

Twitch came into the final Dew Tour event in the lead, but a back injury he got from coming up short during practice the day before slightly hindered his performance during the final. Twitch’s injury mixed with some other factors out of his control, led to Twitch receiving fifth place at the final event and second place for the entire Dew Tour. Congrats Twitch on a kick ass season!

Just a teaser...

It must be the time of the year for new web sites, Metal Mulisha did a long overdue overhaul on their website. Check it out, but remember who told you. Oh yeah, No Fear has a fresh web site also. Is flash is the new black? One more for all you skate dorks that are lurking in moto world, éS launched their new site, like, minutes ago.

Make sure the mailman doesn’t steal your RacerX or TransworldMX this month because the etnies ad of Twitch is sick! I know my damn mail man looks through my mags before I get to see them every month, I just can’t prove it! And he still keeps dropping off bills, what a dick.

Sole Technology R&D Building
26921 Fuerte Drive
Lake Forest, CA 92630

Enjoy food, drinks, live music and artwork by featured European artists:

Nicolas Thomas
Long before Nicolas ever picked up a paintbrush, he was riding a skateboard and snowboard. He is most known for his use of vivid color, numerous materials and various techniques. His ubiquitous use of fine lines in his paintings gives his figures a fragmented look, as if trapped within an imaginary world.

Léonard Accorsi
From drawings to abstract paintings, the work of this impassioned artist is the result of a tragic-comic view of the world. Léo possesses a unique vision that is represented in his work; black yet not dark, opinionated yet unbiased, the work of this snowboarder is an open door into the imagination of daily life.

Gallery hours:

Friday, Oct. 21–Saturday, Oct. 22: 10am-7pm (during etnies GvR contest)
Sunday, Oct. 23: 10am-3pm

Two New etnies Wallpapers

I just put up two fresh wallpapers for y’all to swipe. One is of Todd Potter’s one handed wall ride and the other, Twitch’s 110’ backflip, both from the LG event. You should also go find the full sequence of Twitch’s big ass backflip. Crazy shit!

U.S. Open Results

Brett Metcalfe takes the lites overall.

In the Supercross lites/125 class Brett Metcalfe won the first night and took second on night two for first place overall in class and his first US Open championship. Racer X did an interview with Brett after the race.

Josh Hansen rode a good race for being off all season with limited testing time, he got second place behind Metcalfe on night one and sixth place night two for second overall. etnies riders went 1-2-3 on night one; Metcalfe, Hansen, and Billy Laninovich. Mike Brown rounded out the top five for the first night on his new Rockstar/Bill's Pipes/Suzuki and seventh in night two for seventh overall.

Fresh out of the amateur ranks, Jake Weimer is the newest member of the Amsoil/Chaparral/Honda team and he made a huge statement in his professional debut. A little nervous in his first pro race Jake took seventh place in night one, and once the butterflies were worked out Jake was on the podium in the main event on night two for sixth overall. Nice job Jake. Transworld has an interview with Jake Weimer that you should go read.

After sitting out the outdoor season Mike LaRocco made a strong comeback to Supercross with fourth overall in the Supercross class.

Congrats to all, here's the results....

Twitch Video

<< Check out this video of Twitch's run from the Red Bull X Fighters a couple months ago.

Twitch Second At LG Action Sports

............<----------------------------------- 110 feet --------------------------------------->

Twitch came out to Pomona, CA for the third year of the LG Action Sports Championships and a chance at the $30,000 that goes to the winner. And for the third year in a row, Twitch got second. Not too shabby, but still no the 30 G's.

Potter on the wall ride

Practice at the event was bad-ass! Almost every rider was on the course at one point sessioning the wall ride and the jumps at the same time. Todd Potter and Twitch owned the wall ride! Both were doing one handed wall rides and twitch did a can-can wall ride to can-can landing, while Potter set the high tire mark on the wall for the whole event. With the wall ride, the 110 footer and the Freeride Technology ramp jumps, the course was good and the riders were pretty happy for the most part.

In the night show Twitch floundered his first run and had a dead sailor or two. But for run two Twitch came out swinging and pulled off second place with some huge flip combos, landing one handed a couple times, and an overall smooth run. Congrats Twitch!
